La Planete Sauvage!

First saw this movie on a scene of the movie 'The Cell', Jennifer Lopez is laying in bed smoking a joint, anyway this movie is playing on her TV while she gets high. Ever since i saw it on 'The Cell' I wanted to see it, but later on forgot about it. Anyway I remembered about it last night and here it is. Pretty strange movie.

Ideas here... for free

Pretty Unlikely But...
There have been nothing but awful movies out in theaters lately. Why is this? Is Hollywood running out of things from culture to pillage? Although I think it'd be nice if Hollywood stepped up and made some really nice original films, and I can honestly say I'm getting sick of comic book movies... I've always thought these six things ought to be movies. If anyone out there is interested, take these ideas and do it.

1) Legend of Zelda

We've all (the unlucky ones amongst us) seen that old Super Mario movie with Bob Hoskins. I think that might've scared off the Hollywood money from videogames. What was wrong with it? Its terrible. It took a crazy atmosphere and innovative characters and twisted them to fit in the real world. Here is the right way to do it: make the movie absolutely true to the game. How is that possible? I couldn't tell you. I would think that using a clever combination of CGI and live sets and actors would do the trick. Legend of Zelda the movie would follow the story line of the game (which game? hard to say. It could take the overall legend and make one good story arc...). Its definitely a name people recognize...

2) House of Leaves

This is one creepy book written on a cinematic scale. The book makes use of a lot of pointless structure (tiny words, foot notes, etc) which could be done away with. This movie could be a documentary type structure, but that's unnecessary... For those that haven't read, this book is about a house with a door that is cracked open to reveal an endless tunnel. The people in the house begin trying to explore the tunnel, which seems to change and get bigger/smaller, etc. This book has lots of ins and outs, but the tunnel in the house is definitely some scary stuff.

3) Henderson the Rain King

Well, this book is a little older, but it would make a great basis for an off-beat comedy. The rich guy who has no place in the world decides to go to Africa to try to find himself. He ends up in a tiny village that doesn't know the outside world at all. He brings some dynamite and blows up some frogs, and becomes a sort of king. Its really great, and would make a good movie for an older comedy great (Steve Martin?)

4) Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

This amazing comic book would make a great movie. There, I said it, a comic book movie that I wouldn't mind going to see. The crazy dark atmosphere, if the filmmakers put it together true to the comic, would bring people in droves. Not many people have been exposed to this comic, but I imagine they would still be able to get into the story.

5) Invader Zim

Ever since this was canceled, but kept its fan base, I've been wishing for an Invader Zim movie. Will it happen? I doubt it.

6) Mystery Science Theater 3000

Was it already a movie that came out in theaters? Sure, but who remembers it. But here's a great new take on it: a movie about the entire back story. In the new movie there wouldn't be any scenes inside their little screening room. Does this take the premise and flip it on its head? Of course, and thats what I like about it. You could even make it a more extreme/intense type sci-fi movie that we see more of today (The Fountain, etc). Could Jimmy Fallon play Joel?

All Hallow's Eve

Happy Halloween everybody... maybe you got tricks, or maybe you got treats. By the way, does anyone know what happened to all the other people who are members of this thing? Guess they've all gone away. I took this picture up in Bothell, but it looks pretty creepy... (which is, I guess, appropriate for Bothell.)

my buddy's website...

One of my friends just recently launched a website he's been working on. I guess its about posting pictures from anywhere with your phone to any website you embed the player. As such:

It posts pictures right away, works quite nicely. I'd say it's still in beta though, but still interesting and fits nicely with all those social networking sites. If anyone would like to sign up and try it out here's the website.

It's time again to post one of magnificent poems to this exalted site, much lie a dutch elm tree spreading its delicious seeds... so here goes. This one is about an alien abduction, which is of course total bullshit but interesting to write about:

They came from above


A lone road no light but headlight,
Driving drifting into the night
Sheltered by pines and mountain heights
Alone with time

Riding gliding as only four wheels allow
Tank is full of the old dead of earth
Nowhere to be and no one to see
On Mr. Kerouac’s road again…

DAWN
DAWN
DAWN

Blinding light spinning bright
Silence is deafening
A disc,
The DISC, spins up high

Lifted floating weightless
Prone in the sky
A body in motion stays in motion
Goodnight light.

Naked nude defenseless
Whiteness dazzling overwhelming
A table never felt so soft

Men monsters beings of dream
Grey brown or white
Who can say?

Dangling machine,
Brother of octopus descends un-tethered…

It stabs
It burns
It flays

My flesh!
My heart!
My soul!
Goodnight light.

A lone road no light but headlight,
Driving drifting into the night
Sheltered by pines and mountain heights
Alone with time

Likewise

So I've officially started grad school, and I thought I'd post a word or two about it. Here is the homepage for the program. It's called "information management" and it's meant to be a more general attempt at learning how to integrate and streamline a business' information systems, which usually include but aren't limited to IT.

This is all taking place on the UW campus, which is really a nice setting, especially after going to SCCC (which comes across more like a high school). The school apparently has something like 40,000 students, which rivals the population of my hometown.

So far I've gotten a chance to talk to nearly everyone in my program (there are only about 35 new students a year) and there's some interesting demographics. Over half of them are from out of the country, and class is split 50/50 by gender. Some pretty interesting people from all over.

My classes for the firs quarter are pretty diverse (and, I would add, expensive). They range from the human aspects of info mgmt, system design, and information security. We'll see how they go.

So im in college now...

I decided to tap that sweet, sweet GI Bill and go to college. I'm currently at North Seattle Community because I'm lazy and at this point would rater be in 13 grade than have actual academic challenges to overcome. Add the fact that I don't particularly know what I want to get into(English? Robotics? Ray guns?) later in live and we have a winner. I have been having a good time however, especially in my English classes. I thought that it may be interesting(at least for future me) to post up some of

the poetry that I've been made to write. So here goes a number one. This one is free form and just done off of the top of my head:


The moment I was shot


Hot lead slam down, come down hum down ,
Light bright with foresight,
lava thread flow though, mind matter and the above below, numb for you, flash pop and streak lightning tasting blue wonder,
Sniff of death doom.
Atropos cuts snips snaps thread free, free at last to wander slow fast beyond, tunnel though the mind stew.
Meat potatoes carrots leaks, hot and cold and alone prone.
Velvet drapes, swirly snakes, lost adventure time to you.
Dreams anew, captured, lost and who who who….
Fast times creeping vines, life lived wild mild, forgive forget,
Angels form devils lament, cat’s dog’s forever fog, slipping sliding lost and hiding.
Shock awe, firefly meet seesaw,
Steers queers and automobiles.
Layer confection life lied lived lost
Smitten bitten frozen soul, kiss of life faded stole
Two coins for the boatman,
Endless dropping spinning sweetly
Forever tunnel light bright streetlight
One last taste to last
